The OWA experience in Office 365 is almost identical to Outlook 2013.
It is what I use every day. I find it generally better, actually.
-
@scottalanmiller I like full one outlook better but I'm liking OWA for 2013/Office 365 pretty well so far. In 2010 I hated OWA.
-
Each version makes big strides in OWA functionality. 2013 is web based across the board, just different interfaces.
-
Yeah. I think it was 2007 that only really support IE, everything else only got the Lite version which was utter crap.

That was back in the era when eWeek ran their article that said that Zimbra's web interface and passed the quality of the Outlook fat client!

I'd be interested to know what they think sucks about it given that it is almost identical to Outlook. The only thing I can think of is the lack of new e-mail notifications (not that this is a feature of Outlook that I value).
-
You can likely switch them to it and see if they actually notice. Don't announce it. Likely they can't tell.
-
We are down to just one user who is getting delayed / no emails...the one with 35,000+ in the inbox alone...it is still syncing...everyone else is FINALLY fully synced. He is still grumbling about OWA but to put it nicely, he should have organized his inbox more through the years...
-
Lol yeah that is a few too many emails.
-
I want to give a BIG Thank You to everyone in this thread who helped me make this a smashing success (unless something is waiting to creep up on us.) Beyond the long sync time for a few users, no major issues at all. A few people still had the old IMAP/POP3 account on their phone and it would occasionally bounce off it and not get sent but nothing major for sure...
I couldn't have done it with out everyone and I am very grateful.
I only have one issue left and that is duplicate calendar reminders...got a user who is getting them and cannot figure out why...he only has one calendar attached to his profile...I tried outlook /cleanreminders and it didn't help...suggestions?
-
Did you try deleting the user's Outlook profile reboot and re setup?
-
Awesome, glad to hear that the project turned out so well.

Big Success story for ML

It sure is. We need more of these

No, haven't done that yet...if that seems like a pretty good fix, I'll schedule for his lunch hour...

Yes, it sure was...I've purposely did not deleted their old PST to give it several months and even then, I may archive them. They may not even realize they are missing emails until months later.
Had someone today who said they are missing some folders...will reimport his old PST tonight, and ignoring duplicates and see if that fixes it.
18 of us have the Microsoft Office 365 Plan E1 and haven't really taken advantage of it's features yet. I've used Lync twice with our computer challenged sales people in the field and the desktop sharing/control has been excellent. But no one else has really used Lync yet.

Any "season later" follow up on this project?

Exchange Online has been excellent...and stable...still haven't done anything with SharePoint ONline but emails has been rockin'...
-
SharePoint Online is awesome. Definitely make some time to play with that, even if only as a wiki.

Well, considering my direct manager said to get all the OTJ training I can get with our Excel/VBA projects, I will make time for SharePoint Online here soon...
